Page 45 Comicbook Of The Month March 2025

Kitchen Sink costal crime so British that I'm surprised this doesn't have 'Brighton' printed in red right through it, like a saltier stick of seaside rock.

This is EXACTLY what British comics looked and felt like thirty+ years ago just before Page 45 opened with the likes of Nabiel Kanan's EXIT and Paul Grist's KANE.

It's a great big family-fuelled gangland fallout, with electric art and its very own prodigal son returning - like a Jamie-Delano-era John Constantine without the occult baggage and irresponsibility - just in time to get caught in the middle and catch it in the ear from everyone.

Think Michael Caine in 'Get Carter'.

Will this end any better? For anyone?

The publisher writes:

"Brighton, UK. 2008. The kidnapping of a young woman starts a chain of events that will set con artists, gangsters, killers, and corrupt police on a collision course of violence. Meet John Bannan, self-proclaimed bastard and loving uncle, in this tale of family trauma, betrayal, murder, and revenge that threatens to bring the city's whole underworld down."
